Chapter 86 Wife First
Two days later.
Shi's Building.
The shareholders' meeting was held in the conference hall on the 30th floor.
Shi Tianhong resigned as chairman and lost his decision-making power over the company, but he still held a 20% stake and was still a legal shareholder of Shi Group. He was supposed to be there, but he fell ill. I heard he was seriously ill. He fainted the night he was rushed to the hospital and spent two days and two nights in the ICU before recovering.
The meeting roughly discussed the company's plans for the next three years.
Development prospects.
Strategic deployment.
It was evening when it ended.
Everyone left one after another. Shi Yin pulled out her chair and was about to stand up when Tao Mian called out to her, "Xiao Yin?"
She paused.
Turn around and look at him.
Tao Mian smiled kindly and said, "Can I call you that?"
Shi Yin: "Whatever you like."
"I heard from my colleagues in the HR department that you approved an employment application yesterday. It belongs to Meng Xi, the Deputy Director of the Design Department, whose work was stolen by Shi Qinghe and who was subsequently fired for tampering with the company's New Year project at Shi Qinghe's behest."
"Yes."
“Would it be a bad idea to hire someone with a history of making mistakes?”
"She is mine." Shi Yin said.
Tao Mian expected her to at least try to make amends, or at least offer a cover-up. He hadn't expected her to be so blunt and direct, without even a hint of embellishment. She laid bare her ambitions, telling him clearly that she had poached Shi Qinghe, starting with the process of bringing him down, and progressing step by step until now.
Shi Yin, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Tao Mian came back to his senses and smiled, "The meeting discussed the cooperation between Shi's and the Shine Group, which recently settled in Beijing. I've given you full authority. This is your first job as Vice President of the Central China region, and it's also an opportunity to establish yourself. It's a bit difficult, but I believe you can pull it off."
Shi Yin nodded politely.
There was no other expression on his face except for indifferent politeness.
She left the meeting room.
The figure quickly disappeared at the gate.
Several shareholders nearby came over one after another and looked in the direction where Shi Yin left. Someone said, "She has such a cold personality that it's hard to get along with her."
"Very proud."
"After all, Director Tao is of the same generation as her parents. In terms of seniority, she should be more humble."
"He never smiles and is very quiet."
Several people were discussing.
Tao Mian, who was sitting on the chair, didn't take it seriously. He glanced at the office chair where Shi Yin had sat and said, "This is a company, not a brothel. We don't have that many smiling faces for you to see."
"Mr. Tao, we feel that Shi Yin doesn't respect you very much."
"Flattery is the most incompetent form of respect. Shi Yin has ambition, means, and strength. She doesn't need to bow down."
Tao Mian admired her straightforwardness, and when she shook hands with him, she revealed everything, without hiding anything, making her a good partner. While people her age in the upper class were either relying on their parents or playing dirty, she was alone in her plans, trying to carve out her own kingdom.
Shine Group settled in Beijing.
The Five-Star Building began construction years ago. Before it was officially established in Beijing, it had already provided tens of thousands of jobs and paid hundreds of millions of yuan in taxes to the Beijing government.
This time, it was announced that the ribbon-cutting ceremony would be held on the 12th of this month.
Countless companies want to cooperate with Shine, and even the Han Group is vying for this project. The lights in the Han Building have been on for several months, and people have been staying up late to work on the plan, trying to make friends with this international chaebol team.
Tao Mian handed this task to Shi Yin who had just taken office.
It's a deliberate obstruction.
I also want to see how capable she is.
…
In the corridor.
Meng Xi was waiting outside the door.
Seeing Shi Yin come out, he immediately followed her. The Second Miss kept her word and promised to use the employment documents with her vice president's seal to allow her to re-enter the Shi family in an open and aboveboard manner. She did exactly that.
Meng Xi received an offer last night.
Reported in this morning.
The HR manager personally greeted her at the company entrance, handed her a custom-made ID card, and walked her upstairs with a beaming smile, saying, "You were specially recruited by Vice President Shi. I'm honored to serve you."
The two entered the elevator one after another.
Meng Xi pressed the floor button and said, "The secretary said that Director Tao asked you to complete the cooperation project with Shine Group?"
"Um."
"I heard that hundreds of companies in Beijing are vying for this project. Even the largest and most prestigious group, Han Group, is trying to build relationships with Shine. Han Zheng, the president of Han Group, has called the CEO of Shine's headquarters in Beijing several times, but has been turned away."
The Han family is like this.
The Shi family was even more helpless.
This project cannot be completed no matter who is assigned to it. The second young lady has just taken on such a difficult task. It is hard not to suspect that Tao Mian did it on purpose.
Shi Yin said, "He did it on purpose. Seeing that I was rising too fast, he was afraid that I might have bad intentions. He put pressure on me and let me know that even though Shi Tianhong had abdicated, the Shi family would not fall into my hands."
Meng Xi frowned: "Then why did you accept this hot potato?"
"Is it impossible for me to do this?"
"Sorry, Second Miss, that's not what I meant."
"The greater the difficulty, the more stable my position in Shi's will be after I accomplish it." Shi Yin looked at the changing red floor numbers in the elevator, his unfocused eyes filled with only the desire to fight for property.
She didn't want to replace Tao Mian again.
I don't want the entire Shi family either.
What she wanted, from the beginning, was Shi Tianhong and Cheng Lan's entire fortune. Meng Xi had been following her for several months and had a more or less grasp of this. So, Meng Xi asked, "If one day in the future you take possession of all the Shi family's wealth, what will you do next?"
“Donate it to the welfare home.”
"All of them?"
"Um."
"And then? You—"
Before Meng Xi could finish her words, the elevator arrived with a ding. Without further questioning, she watched Shi Yin's frail figure walk away and drive away with the parked Porsche Macan.
-
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the center of the city.
The metropolis is prosperous.
The neon lights gradually lit up.
Shi Yin drove the car, staring blankly ahead, and stopped at the intersection. While waiting for the red light, Meng Xi's question to her kept replaying in her mind: "What are you going to do next?"
to be honest.
She doesn't know.
She is dedicated to reclaiming her share of the wealth and crushing those who bully her. If she fails, she will die. If she succeeds, she will donate her hundreds of millions of assets to orphans without parental love.
What to do next?
It seems to be gone.
The cell phone rang suddenly in the silent car, and Shi Yin's thoughts were forcibly pulled back. She glanced at the word "Han Zhan" on the caller ID, and her empty eyes became full of charm without her noticing.
She answered the phone.
Han Er's voice came out: "Dear wife, are you off work?"
"On the way back to Beishan Villa."
"I'm at the candy-blowing stall. Lots of kids are buying them in all sorts of shapes. The owner says he can't draw Lazy Sheep. Do you want a butterfly or a phoenix?"
"Are you not busy today?" Shi Yin asked.
He is very busy these days.
Go out early and come back late.
Yesterday, I didn’t return to Beishan Villa until after three in the morning.
As a contract wife, Shi Yin couldn't ask about his whereabouts outside.
"Wife, if you don't say anything, I'll assume you want both."
"Han——"
Before Shi Yin could finish her words, she heard Han Zhan on the other end of the phone say to the vendor, "One butterfly and one phoenix, and then write a couple's name for me, just like you just drew for the couple, with a heart between the male and female names... Han Zhan, Shi Yin, the "Shi" of time, the "Yin" of musical note, with Shi Yin written first. Yes, my wife, my wife comes first, my wife is number one."
